Off Season. What now?

[Pantani_lives]

Usually I survive the winter by watching women's biathlon on German TV. But now Magdalena Neuner has retired...

. Nevermind...............

read forums races spring 2012, I hope to find link to videos and maybe turn fan BOONEN.

Confession, my day job has me doing statistics for College Wrestling here in the United States, and the season is November-March. As a result, I usually spend much of that time either behind this computer at home, behind this computer in college wrestling arenas or in hotels, or on planes between one and the other.

enjoy!

I found the first two to be the most enjoyable to watch.

My offseason:

1) Pick an unbeatable CQ team
2) Watch old tours/classics
3) Decide who won the 1996-2005 tours
4) Fall into depression at the lack of bike racing to watch
5) Watch Nordic and see the same 5 people on the podium in different orders every week
6) Watch the Belgians win every single cyclo-cross race
7) Get a new bike for x-mas.

 

[gerundium]

sporza cycling yearly overview still coming up on october 23rd! other than that it's probably fall into depression / watch cyclocross/ rewatch old races while feeling sad on the trainer/ prepare CQ team / lurk the clinic / count down the days to TdU / after TdU count down days to march / train for next season.

it's gonna be a busy off-season.

 

[GPdesAmeriques]

The season isn't over yet!

[zapata]

Skiing, obviously.

 

[Carlo Algatrensig]

NFL and National Hunt horse racing will fill the winter for me. I might also watch the odd bit of Track cycling if it is on

 

[Lupetto]

Daotec will do a 500 post live coverage with pictures in every post.

 

[Yingge]

Moving to the Clinic obviously. It could be a very busy winter.

Yep, very popular area at present, maybe for a while yet too.

 

[movingtarget]

The Clinic is now experiencing the culmination of years of diligent 'h8ing'. It's the place to be clearly.

It's like a feeding frenzy for migrating sharks.

 

[hfer07]

My approach to the end season is to watch/review the entire season with all the available videos around the net & maintain some inspiration while riding as much as weather permits. If I get extremely bored I always count on CN to get entertained with all the expecularion/gossiping around the forums

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

also for me there are still a ton of big races in latin america coming out

 

[maltiv]

I hate this part of the season. No racing on television. The skiing season hasn't started yet. It's too cold to ride outside, but not enough snow to go skiing. And I'm already sick of training on the rollers!

At least it frees up some valuable time to read for my exams

 

[Escarabajo]

We could watch Nys and Albert battle it out. And we can try to figure out who won the Tour in 1996.. and also between 1999-2005.

And we can start predicting Paris_Roubaix? Boonen or will Gilbert give it a go? Same for Tour de Flandres.

It might take a bigger investigation than the one FBI and USADA did this past year and a half.

So... Amstel Curacao is some sort of weird dance with dolphins?

Yes, it will be fun times as you will snackattacked again and again.

Race is on! (Dutch) radio coverage:

[42x16ss]

I'll be watching the wild accusations and endless baiting/trolling in the clinic and checking up on the bikes and gear forum. If the summer rain stays away I'll get out and race some crits too.

 

[Swifty's Cakes]

Its time to pump up the tyres on my mountian bike and head over to North Wales.

Then fall off badly and have my wife tell me not to be so bloody stupid as to go on black runs at my age

 

[airstream]

I'm glad that the season has finished. Frankly speaking, that would be great to wait for Puerto hearing and see what's going on with Contador, Bruyneel, Ferrari and Marti, but there's no time due to lots work and studies. From now on I'm totally focusing on APL and rooting for Arsenal. Never could follow both sports at the same time. So each of them has its half-year.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Hey, airstream, at least there's only a couple of weeks until you can spend four months cheering Dasha on to what I would expect will be a bunch of victories if she doesn't get hurt.
